I read somewhere that the suggestion was for the shop to lay the bike on it's left side to avoid losing fluids.
Looking at the minor scuffs my bike came back with, I wouldn't be one bit surprised if that's exactly what they did
Look at your coolant level when you get the bike back. Almost everyone reports being a little low in the reservoir after the recall service is performed
You mean that there is a radiator in this thing? ****! My understanding is that the recall deals primarily with the clutch and oil pump, how does the coolant come into play? (Especially since mine was done on a rack and upright)
The reservoir has an overflow. Just a guess but I'd think that if they are leaning the bikes to one side, maybe some of the fluid comes out of that over-flow.
I don't know the cause but I do know a lot of guys, me included, had to top off our coolant reservoirs.
If done on a rack, you may not see a drop in coolant but very well may receive new fluids.
On a side note, I just can't seem to sleep reservoir very well. Very thankful for spell check
